Photographers on Photographers: Marisa Lucchese in coversation with Isadora Kosofsky – LENSCRATCH

Early in my undergraduate studies in photography, I discovered Isadora Kosofsky’s work, and I immediately wrote her name down as a source of inspiration. Her use of light, the intimacy she captured, the clear care for her subjects that radiated from the images… it was all encompassing of the photographer I hoped I would one day become. When I got the chance to meet her this past year as she gave a lecture at my university, I could feel the excitement flowing through my veins at the prospect of hearing her talk about her work and showing her my own. When I was asked to contribute to the Photographers on Photographers, I knew that I wanted to continue the conversations that had begun earlier this year, especially as I have recently graduated and am entering the art world. It felt like a perfect full circle moment, and I hope this conversation can benefit other young photographers as it has for me.
